Synopsis
Briony never planned to go back to the place she lost everything.
Firefly Valley, nestled deep within the Smoky Mountains, is better kept in her past. After an unexplained fire gave Briony amnesia, her mother disappeared and her dad moved them to Knoxville.
But now her grandmother needs a caretaker and Briony’s dad volunteers her to help. The moment she returns, her whole world shifts. She feels a magical connection to this valley, as if it’s literally part of her somehow.
And when she meets a hot guy who claims he was her childhood friend but now mysteriously keeps his distance, Briony starts piecing together her missing past … and discovers her mother didn’t leave to start a new life somewhere. She’s trapped in the hidden world within the valley.
Now, Briony will do whatever it takes to rescue her, even if it means standing up against dangerously powerful nature spirits. Even if it means giving up her first love.
Review
This book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Entangled: Teen!
Glow of the Fireflies is Lindsey Duga’s third book and tells the story of Briony and Alder.
Glow of the Fireflies is the first book I’ve read by Lindsey Duga and I liked it. The story was really original and unique and Briony, Alder and Izzie were enjoyable characters! I’ve never read anything by Lindsey Duga, so I didn’t have any expectations, but I really like a lot of books by Entangled Publishing, so I knew that I was going to like this one too.
I don’t really read that many Young Adult Fantasy books, or just Young Adult books in general, anymore because I really like reading books where the characters are a bit older. I did, however, like the characters and the story. The characters were really realistic and I liked that Briony struggled with her amnesia. You don’t always read about characters with amnesia. Alder was an interesting guy and I knew that I was going to like him from the beginning of the book.
Glow of the Fireflies was a good YA Fantasy book with a stunning cover! I cannot wait to check out Lindsey Duga’s other books.
